The Robinson Theater will open with its first play — a musical called The Fantasticks — of the semester on Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. in the Ogle Center.
The original production of The Fantasticks first premiered in May 1960 in Greenwich Village, NY, and has been appearing on off-Broadway for the past 70 years. It is he longest-running show in the U.S.
“It’s become such a classic show,” Jesse Brown, theater graduate, said. “I think that’s in large part due to the fact that it tells such a simple story, one we can relate to on some level.”
Will Gantt, theater junior, said he first received a taste of theater on a field trip as a child in Alabama.
“Our class went to see some play — I don’t even remember what it was — and they served ice cream in little tubs with wooden spoons.” Gantt said. “I thought it was the coolest thing to eat ice cream and watch people play around.”
While in high school Gantt said he was really drawn to movies and thought he might try acting after seeing “Good Will Hunting” with Matt Damon in 1997.
The New York Times claims it is, “one of the most skillfully written murder mysteries ever produced.” It is Agatha Christie’s “Mousetrap,” and, no, it is not the board game.
“Mousetrap” is play centered around a group of strangers stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, and one of whom is a murderer. The IUS Theater Department debuted the play on Oct. 28 in the Robinson Theatre of the Ogle Center.
Rehearsals started back in September for Mousetrap.
